LETTER TO THE EDITOR: STATE REPRESENTATIVE RON BEACON PRAISED FOR HIS WORK IN COMMUNITY

October 24, 2018

Dear Editor,

This past March, a tragedy occurred in our community of Spencer County.  A 17 year old, Jade Yeager was killed in a car accident at a dangerous intersection outside of Rockport on her way to school.

Her father, Mike Yeager had a goal of making that intersection safer so no one else would lose their life.  On his behalf, I contacted State Representative Ron Bacon to inquire on the appropriate action required to get the process started.

Ron was a valuable asset from the beginning.  He has worked with INDOT over the years & contacted them immediately to see if the wreck had been reported.  Ron let me know the steps to take soon after he spoke with INDOT.  I stayed in regular contact with Ron until the meeting with INDOT was held at Spencer County Courthouse this past July.  

I have come to know Ron through his involvement with Spencer & Warrick Counties. He is a man of true character that cares about people as a whole – even down to a person he never met until a tragedy occurred – he was there for Mike.  Ron’s involvement to communities with his reputation has carried positive results throughout Southern Indiana even all the way to the Statehouse.  

I hope that anyone who knows Ron or has heard of him will take the time out to thank him for the amazing job that he does representing the people of Southern Indiana.

Sincerely,

Mysti DeMarco

Rockport, IN
